Oxford Race 8

253Mtrs (D4)

Stake: $590

SAVANA MARYLOU (1) has been in super consistent form, last time breaking from this same trap when second in a D4 at this track (15.89) and making it three straight placings. Has the ability and looks hard to top. SAVANA TIR NANOG (4) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 253m behind Bawnfune Belle (16.17) in a D3. Should be about the money. FREE DERRY (6) was a course and distance placegetter (15.84) last time also from the same draw, finishing a 4 length third in a D3. Expected to feature. SAVANA TONKA (2) makes debut for the T J Nevin kennel. Profiles well so watch market closely.

First starter from the T J Nevin yard by Savana Sakima out of Savana Dakota. Strong market watch advised but profiles nicely for this.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (28.66) over 450m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just zero of 21 runs. Looks tested in this line-up.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 253m. Won't find this much tougher. Must be included.
